No Sweat???

Yesterday I decided to go get an air conditioner. I had done some research on the net and decided on an LG 8000 btu unit from Best Buy for 150 bucks. Problem was, their website said the store closest to me was out of them. The nearest one was across town and I really didn't feel like driving in rush hour traffic to go get it. So I called the closer store and woo-hoo they had one left. I put an hour hold on it and made tracks. I lugged the thing into my living room, opeened the box and discovered they don't come fully assembled anymore. I had to put the stupid little side curtains on it myself.
I think the Chinese take great pleasure in torturing us Americans by writing confusing owner's manuals, because after an hour I still hadn't figured it out and the tiny illustrations were of no use. Sweat was falling in my eyes and I was frustrated. Hubby came home and in about fifteen minutes we finally had the damn thing put together. I went to open the window, only to find it was painted shut. I went outside, climbed on the ladder and cut the paint away. The window stubbornly opened. By this time I was so hot and tired, we decided to go to the pub and have a beer and cool off. So we left the window open and walked down the street. Around 10 we came home and finished the job. Finally! Cooler air reigns in my living room. Can't wait to get home from work today and enjoy it.
